Well, getting some recording equipment is gonna be hard to do... I went to a local electronics store today called Frys, and they had a very small selection of microphones, none of which said "stereo condenser mic" on the packaging.:erg: I really don't know where I should get my mic, because maplins is a european website, and I'm in the States. I suppose I could still order it and have it shipped here. As far as that USB audio device, I can order that online.

Don't worry about getting fancy equipment, man.
As I told another:
I've been told that the soundbits I send are quite clear and the mic that I have is a 10 dollar plastic one that I bought in 2001. I think the key is to just make sure you're in a quiet spot with little background noise. Also, use a program like Audacity to record. If you do have a bit of background noise, such as a fan or something, you can actually edit that out using Audacity's noise filter. All you have to do is record a couple seconds of silence with each new line, then highlight the "silence" and tell Audacity that this is noise. Then you can highlight the entire line and remove it.

As long as you're not deepthroating the mic, there shouldn't be too big of an issue, really.

Well, if I wanna sound like a pro, then I need good equipment.:p

But I suppose you're right.. I should just do some practice, and send it to biker to see what he thinks.

I gave it a try using my gaming headset microphone/headphones... I PM'ed you.

(note that I was going for a guard, so I kinda changed my voice accordingly.)
